You can see the protesters in the background. It's terrific you have a site to post such things from. Thanks for going to the effort.

10. I googled one name from the signs
Came up with a page of pretty pictures of Katajanokka ("Juniper Headland") on the Eastern Helsinki Peninsula. So I guess it is Finland.
